legends of techno :> there are some fine producers but thats all

[slavestudios]

1.Hawtin - does what he wants & breaks boundaries

2.Speedy J - the greatest live techno show on earth & the most innovative sound & producer. his music NEVER stays in the same place.

3.David Holmes - local boy done good, showed me what REAL techno was about & brought the greatest of guests to Belfast at a time when we were stuck with Cream & MoS bullshit...


Mills WAS a legend, but has lost it... sad but true :cry:

Clarke has went up his own arse... :hmm:

as for the Detroit legends, they once made great music but it aint changed an inch since 94.... :roll:




there are many more who impress me. ppl like Robert Natus & Amok & Wittekind, but will they be legends ? who knows. only time can tell...

i think there are 'soldiers' rather than legends who should be respected. Bissmires & Eddie Richards & Misjahs & Glen Wilsons.... they arent superstars but their duty to the scene is unquestionable.

and the number of grass roots players who put their money & balls on the table every week cos they believe....

THEY are the true legends

[zaalmoetlos]

ltj Bukem - I know he isn't techno but he changed the way i listened to music round about 91 and influenced me most when i just started playing

Surgeon - He is seriously pushing boundries at the moment and love his sound along side the rest of the downward boys


Hawtin - always changing, always masterfull and always pushing boundries


and also worth mentioning, steve rachmad, laurent garnier, the advent, damon wild, steve stoll, juan atkins, cari lekebusch, adam beyer

[scienceofuse]

It's hard to say what really makes a techno "legend", but the three most inspirational artists I've come across are:

- Derrick May - the label Transmat and his seminal tracks such as "Strings of life" or "Nude Photo"... 'nuff said... :clap:
- James Stinson aka Drexciya - constantly pushing the envelope, forever experimenting with new sounds, textures and beats... The man is truly a legend because of his dedication and his constant pursuit of something new.
- Mad Mike and Underground Resistance - for their underground spirit, their great inspirational music and their anarchist revolutionary stance... True musical rebels, always one step before everyone else while their existence is still shrouded in mystery... hehe :lol:

[jonnyspeed]

- Chris Liberator: mainly because of his mass fame even amongst occational techno fans

- Richie Hawtin: technically and emotionally perfect - a true genius

- Crystal Distortion/Spiral Tribe: for the true meaning of rage against the machine

[The Overfiend]

Kevin Saunderson Aka Master Reese for being on top oof his sound since day one and still being in tune with the times.

Jeff Mills for bringing a toughness to the scene, dont even front!

Matter of fact I can't limit this to three, anyone in here slaggin' the detroit crew needs to re evaluate thier approach on techno because face it without them we would not be here, period. There are different time periods of techno indeed but no matter how much we debate this all roads lead back to detroit. The forefathers in detroit may not be able to make the next hydraulix or mankind record granted but kool moe dee and doug e fresh cant make the next 50 cent album either you dig?

[steelgrooves]

Carl Cox- This is my favorite DJ on the planet hard or funky he knows how to do it!

Adam Beyer- Beyer and Cari are really the first Techno I discovered.IMO they set the standard for techno today. Beyer with his tight drumtracks and Cari s sick twisted synth work.

Cari Lekebusch-^^^

[DJMAYA]

1. Dave Clarke
The red series just laid down the rules for me i guess. First real piece of techno i studied and now its still right there teaching me a thing or two everytime i play it.....a techno prophecy.

2. Henry Cullen
i mean i never knew what two turntables could do before i saw this man play and id seen quite alot of djs in my country. He opened my mind so much and still does, incredible dj, top producer, top sense of humour, pioneer.

3. Chris Liberator
absolute techno pioneer and legend, his music and his energy have taught me about lifestyle and attitude, freedom, and standing up for what you believe in.
Also a massive dj and producer:)))

[DJPAUZE]

In no particular order:

Speedy J- Comment needed?
NWA- These guys just ****in own me, made hip hop what it is today.
Dave the Drummer- I think maya said it best, one of the greatest djs out there, incredible production, very underated in my opinion.

Pauze

DJ Bone
Derrick May
James Pennington/Suburban night

Hmm, DJ Bone... why?

[Esox Lucius]

why not? might not be the first person people would think as a 'legend' but to me he is.

[jonnyspeed]

NOT Dave Clarke.

not because he's mixed up metrosexual twat but because he always picks the wrong track on an EP to play and ain't actually very good, imo, considering his hype. Actually two of my mates are technically better and don't have bitch-tits - why ain't they famous you ask = because they refused to take coke with tossers like Dave Clarke every day and suck corporate cock - like mr Clarke.

only my opinion.

[Stuart]

Joey Beltram - Because he's a lengend in his own right.

Frankie Knuckles - We wouldn't be were we're at today with out the likes of him and the early DJ's.

Richie Hawtins and Speedy J - I choose 2 here as the 3rd one because of how their music evolves and I love the rhythms they both produce under all their AKA's

[Drumsquasher]

This should be no problem, let´s start with:

1. D.A.V.E the Drummer - There is no other...

2. Rowland the Bastard - Bastard mixing...

3.DJ Pierre - I was inspired by his mad mixes @ the legandary german club "Aufschwung Ost" If he had a good day, he mixed 40-50 Tracks per hour... With only 2 turntables... and perfect...
